On 7 October 2023, Al-Quds Brigades fighters committed jointly with Hamas brutal and indiscriminate terrorist attacks across Israel. In so doing, they also committed widespread sexual and gender-based violence in a systematic manner, using it as a weapon of war. Notably, Al-Quds Brigades fighters were involved in attacks on kibbutzim such as Kfar Aza and Nahal Oz, where grave forms of sexual and gender-based violence were committed including rape, murder of female infants and the targeted abduction of women and girls. The Al-Quds Brigades are therefore responsible for serious human rights violations or abuses, including systematic and widespread sexual and gender-based violence, which is also of serious concern with regard to the objectives of the common foreign and security policy as set out in Article 21 of the Treaty on European Union. 12.4.2024 25.
